Annual Phraya Yommarat Ceremony to be Held in Pathum Thani
A special ritual aimed at spiritual cleansing and life improvement is scheduled for October 27, 2026, at Wat Chai Sittharam.
On October 27, 2026, at 3:30 PM, Wat Chai Sittharam in Sam Khok District, Pathum Thani, will host the annual 'Phraya Yommarat' worship ceremony. Organized for the fifth consecutive year by numerology expert Nitikrit Kittisirivoranan, the event is timed to coincide with the Tak Bat Devo festival, traditionally known as the day the 'three worlds open' and the gates of hell are believed to pause operations.
According to the organizer, this ceremony is intended for individuals seeking to overcome personal obstacles, persistent misfortune, or spiritual burdens. The timing is considered significant in local belief, as it is thought to be a period when merit-making and requests for forgiveness are particularly potent, allowing spirits from all realms to receive blessings. The temple is noted for its large, ornate statue of Phraya Yommarat, which serves as the focal point for the gathering.
For residents and visitors, this event offers a unique glimpse into Thai spiritual practices and local folk beliefs regarding karma and destiny. While the ceremony is open to those seeking spiritual relief, participants should be aware that this is a traditional religious observance. As with all such events, the efficacy of the ritual remains a matter of personal faith. Those planning to attend should check local traffic conditions in Pathum Thani, as large gatherings at temples can occasionally lead to localized congestion.
